The Bahamas is a quick trip for those on the East Coast, but it still feels a world away. With plenty of sun, sand and water sport, as well as five-star hotels like the One & Only Ocean Club on Paradise Island, the Bahamas is perfectly suited for honeymooners.

There are plenty of deals to be had, particularly during the summer months, but travelers should be wary of going during hurricane season.

Destinations were chosen based on theknot.com's annual honeymoon study. The Knot polled 12,000 people with wedding dates in 2010. The top spots featured here all ranked in The Knot's survey's top 40 list of honeymoon destinations.
